one Hundred and Twenty-Five Acres
 of Woodland Turned Over.

HARTFORD, May 17.-One hundred and twenty-five acres of woodland on Talcott mountain were burned over today. The fire is still burning. It broke out yesterday afternoon and owing to the extreme drought spread rapidly. The territory is thickly
 wooded. The wind has been favorable to the continuance of the burning, and the
 smoke today was so dense as to prevent the hundreds of men who gathered from West Hartford and Bloomfield from effectually driving the fire in.

schools for Nurses.

Several of our citizens who prefer male nurses to female nurses in cases of sickness, on the ground that the former are more en- during and stronger, take considerable inter est in the fact that in New York training school for male nurses is being established the first one for male nurses in the United States. They warmly endorse the training schools for female nurses as blessing to humanity, but think that there is plenty of reason why training schools for male nurses should exist and flourish.

LESS THAN s5,OOO DAMAGE.

The Schooner General Mervim-The
 Iowa's Owners Give Bonds of Seven-
 ty-F1ve Thousand Dollars - The
 Amount Of Damages to be Decided
 Probably by Arbitration.
 MT. Henry Sutton, managing owner of the schooner General s. E. Merwin of this port, libelled the British steamer Iowa at Boston on a claim for damages caused by the Iowa's running into the Merwin off Cape Cod. The agents of the Iowa gave bonds to the amount of $75, 900 to answer. This enables the Iowa to proceed without detention or loss of busi- ness. It is thought that the claim will be settled by arbitration. The probable amount of damage to the vessel is less than $5,000. Beside this there is the salvage claim to be iquidated. This is the claim of the owners of the vessel which found the Merwin disa- bled at sea and lowed her to Provincetown. When discovered the Merwin lay on one side, just as she lay when oapsized, with her sails in the water. Owing to the fortunate cir cumstance that the Merwin continued in that position can her recovery be attributed As she lay thus the big hole made in her by the Iowa was out of water. Had she righted she would have filled and sunk, and had she been loaded instead of slight" when struck by the Iowa the result would no doubt have been the same. The Merwin will also have a claim against the Iowa for s84 day while lying idle in conse- quence of the collision, or six cents ton per day. The Merwin is a fourteen hundred ton vessel. The evidence to sustain the Merwin's claim for damages is believed by the ownership to be most convincing, the lights having been properly set and burning according to the testimony of the officers and the crew. Among the principal owners are General Merwin, Henry Sutton, James D. Dewell and Lieutenant Charles E. Granniss. Henry Sutton, managing owner of the yes sel, was in town yesterday morning and left before noon for Boston, to be present at the necessary preliminary legal proceedings in the ease at Boston.

- NOW, ln the great GUY or N6W OIk, under the capable supervision of Inspector Byrne detective system is in operation which seems al most marvellous; and yet the capacity of selection and organization is all that is needed in any city to give the community protection. It is the business of detectives to know the criminal classes and to follow them closely that even in the city of New York it may be known at police headquarters when a arrival is registered at the St. Bernard Hotel any other resort of thieves or burglars just as it was known the other day when a watch was put upon the two men who went to New Haven and mur dered an old woman fer her money.
